Shadow of the Colossus (Anonymous)

In all of the bluster of E3, the successor to the most beautiful and atmospheric of the last few years has been missed. Shadow of the Colossus is only a few months away, and it looks good. A somewhat intriguing premise pits you against a succession of enormous "colossi" - seemingly these huge mechanical creatures hold something you need to free a loved one. The creatures are entire levels in themselves. Each one a puzzle that must be solved.

It's nice to see that they've stuck with the amazing graphical style from Ico. Ico was SO well realised it actually made you feel warm when you stepped out in to a sunny courtyard. Nothing has come close to Ico in terms of evoking a feeling of truly being somewhere else.

To say I'm looking forward to Shadow of the Colossus is an understatement. I'm really hoping it's finally going to topple Super Mario World from it's "favourite game ever" position. Fingers crossed eh?
